Straw Phonation with Elizabeth!

HERE'S WHAT OTHERS HAVE SHARED

WORKING ON YOUR OWN:

• Figure out your personal 1-5 dynamic levels, and try to strengthen your #1 soft dynamic, and to be able to smoothly go through all the dynamics.   
• Sing while recording an entire song and then critique your recording or swap with a friend and have them critique it for you.  
• Work on strengthening your breath support. 
• Keep working on your own voice.  Keeping the same quality, no matter what part of the range you are singing in. (Keep it consistent). 
• Focus on one skill at a time for your run throughs.  Focus on lifting/energizing the ends of phrases, going right to the target vowels, singing through the singable consonants. 

CHORUS / QUARTET IDEA:

• Have a lead record themselves singing a song or package with the director directing and send it to all members for them to sing-a-long with.
• Hold an online meetings or rehearsals. 
  
• Plan a complete (even if short) rehearsal to include warmups, exercises, a fun tag, and do some talking/working on a song that everyone is learning.
